A History of Britain, Volume 2: The Wars of the British 1603-1776

Eminent - and best selling - historian Simon Schama takes the listener back in time to the Britain that existed in the 17th and 18th centuries, introducing us to the ill-fated Charles I and Oliver Cromwell, John Milton and Benjamin Franklin, and some not-so-famous characters who helped define the course of British history. "Delightfully accessible," say the critics, "a powerful experience."

This book should come with a warning "Do not operate a moving vehicle while listening to this book". It goes from being very interesting to down right boring. It tends to ramble at times with no direction. It seems as if the author was trying to reach a goal of X number of words and was just filling in time and space.
